Isn’t it true that with the growth in technology and modernization, the natural life which spreads across the world is deteriorating? People are immensely busy in their lives and are slowly burying the thought of their responsibility towards a greener planet.

why is a balanced eco-stystem necessary for us?

Why are Rainforests important?

They help stabilize the world’s climate through the absorption of carbon dioxide. When trees are cut down or burned, the gas is then released back to the atmosphere.

They help maintain the water cycle, as well as protecting food, they prohibit droughts and help curtail soil erosion.

Moisture generated by Rainforests travels around every part of the world.

So what can we do?

Being green doesn’t require spending lots of money on fancy gadgets. an environmentally-responsible home not only saves us money, but saves the earth too! Small things do make a big difference. Even if we do a few of the below, we’re one step closer to living on a greener planet!

17 ways our home could save the earth

Open the Blinds: 10% of energy can be saved on heating when we open the blinds during the day to let the sunlight in.

Bamboo is better: It is the fastest growing plant on earth. This quick rate of replenishment means it’s more environmentally friendly than timber tress to use as hardwood flooring.

Kitchen

Compost kitchen scraps: Separating and composting kitchen scraps not only reduces the amount of household waste in landfill, but also eases the costs associated with rubbish collection.

Use a microwave: 50% less energy is used by a microwave oven than a conventional oven.

Shady Fridges: Having our refrigerator in the sunlight will force it to work harder to keep cool.

Bedroom

Repurpose: We can reuse and repurpose old furniture instead of buying brand new. If we have a choice between wool and polyester, opt for wool as it’s more eco-friendly to produce.

Energy-efficient windows: They will keep us cool during summers and warm in winters due to proper insulation.

Bathroom

Turn it off: We must turn the tap off while brushing.

Installing a low-flow toilet: Flushing toilets account for 30% of total indoor water use and we must switch to buying recycled toilet paper. A leaking toilet must be fixed immediately as it can waste 757 litres every day.

Shave smart: Men can use a cup of warm water to rinse their razors rather than using the tap.

Get a spider plant: Having a spider plant in the bathroom will help purify the air.

Shower bath: Taking a shower can use as little as 14% of water used during bath.

Hang dry: 2-3 kg of carbon emissions is produced for every hour a dryer is used. We must hang-dry instead.

All You Need To Know About Eco Freindly Diposables.
I was just curious to see how to live an eco friendly lifestyle, as I just started to start living one. Your article is excellent and provided me more details that I wasn’t aware previously and it is highly encouraging. I am more into planting Trees here and there, water conservation and always obsessed about how to make our earth a better place for the unborn.
I would like to mention one of my latest experience about homemade pesticides.In my garden I planted a moringa tree and its was coming up very well. Suddenly the leaf started to curl and turn yellow. Yes, the plant had the leaf curl disease and was tenacious to solve it in a eco friendly way.I tried making a paste by blending Garlic, Ginger and Green chilli and diluted it in the clean water and sprayed the solution on to the leaf(only 3 doses in a day). And to my surprise, within 3 days the curl in the leaf disappeared and leaf starting looking normal and green.
Good luck and keep writing more like this.
Wishing you good luck,
